Hi Cathy,
In Adobe Reader X, choose the last option on the Edit menu named
Preferences. This opens a multi-page dialog with categories, each
having its own specific group of settings. Choose the Internet
category, and then tab to the first option named Web browser options,
display PDF in browser. Ensure that this check box is un-checked; use
the spacebar to un-check it if it is checked. Then, for simplicity,
Shift-tab several times in order to get back to the Ok button and then
press Enter. With this setting, from now on, when you click a PDF link
within your browser, Adobe Reader will be opened, and load the document
outside of the browser. I believe that this should eliminate the
security issue.

before? I don't know what to change the security to. When I called
Microsoft Accessibility the rep wanted me to disable my antivirus
program; I
didn't, and ended the call.
Thanks.

Hi Jed,
There's quite a bit to know about navigating PDFs, but some of the
highlights are that they are fairly easily navigable using Adobe Reader
X. You move to next and previous pages using Control-PageUp and
Control-PageDown, respectively. While on a page you read the text as
you would a web page, that is, using browse mode. Also, Adobe Reader X
has its own search function initiated using Control-Shift-F, and, since
this is also a Window-Eyes keystroke, you must press Insert-B in order
to pass it to Adobe Reader X.
